Temporary Insanity!
You know those days when suddenly you get that huge mood swing, and you are all sad and grumble when talking to everyone?...I think I had one of those days today. The worst thing is that you know when you are behaving that way, but you can't seem to snap out of it. I literally spent all morning pissed off at everyone...it did help deter people from annoying me all day though! But by the evening B. managed to cheer me up, (must be all that Scissor Sisters music!)...it made me think how un-important work is and how it's so pathetic that the worst thing in my life is so superficial! Reminded me of a conversation I had with S. once when she was telling me about how we have seemingly had such an easy life, that by the end of high school the most tragic thing that had happened to us was not getting a good HSC mark. It's kind of lame to think that we treat our problems as on par with people who have lost loved ones or have had to suffer disabilities. Makes you feel kind of pathetic really!
This past weekend I did another first (well, a cheated first)...I babysat for a workmate on Sat night. Now...I haven't really dealt with kids for about 10 years...I was a bit worried I would be one of those nasty, ranty old babysitters. Turns out that 5 and 7 year olds are so scheming!! In this day and age...they are so smart-arsy.
On another note...is it wrong to make up stuff when read little kids a bed-time story? When I was reading the kids their bedtime story - a chapter of 'Chronicles of Narnia'...they kept asking me questions every paragraph. To be honest the last time I read Narnia was at least 8 years ago, so I had to make up stuff cause I didn't remember what happened before the chapter I read. Is this terrible? Am I going to scar these kids for life?
On Sunday we met up with Daph for brunch in Balmain. It was really nice to see her and to chill out and have a casual, slow sunday. Really reminded me that I should take more of a time out on the weekends and just spend some time at a cafe reading the paper and such.
